Testimonials · DeAndre Harris

Principal Technical Program Manager

Managed DeAndre

DeAndre was one of my first hires on a new team built to support the customers of GitLab.com. I’ve been impressed with his ability to operate at multiple levels: he’s been instrumental in forming process, tooling and handling the day-to-day interactions. It’s rare to see someone who can operate competently across those levels, and DeAndre excels in them all.

He’s a quiet force and has been a key figure in making the team what it is today.

DeAndre is someone whom I trust to assist with complicated requests. He’s always willing to help out even if it’s at the tail-end of his normal working hours. He’s incredibly innovative and always looking for ways to make processes better through technology. Just on the Suppressions Email app alone, he has saved the team a tremendous amount of time manually looking up and clearing suppressed emails. I admire DeAndre’s diverse skill set and his ability to seemingly find every known issue logged. DeAndre is a great team player who has always made me feel welcome since the day I joined.

When I first started at GitLab I could always count on DeAndre to be the single source of truth whenever I needed help. He makes it a point to contribute to any and all discussions that drive our department forward, ensures that any ticket he touches receives expert service, and is always looking to expand his knowledge and that of his team.

DeAndre is great to work with and particularly strong at efficiency and results. With users, he’s excellent at finding existing issues, reproducing them, or resolving them by diving into the code or going straight to an MR.

Internally, he’s done an amazing job especially at automating our processes or building apps to make the team more efficient. As one of the earliest members of the GitLab.com Support team, he’s been instrumental in getting us to this point, and I look forward to continuing working with him as we take the team to the next level.
